On The Fall in Galway

In Galway, it never really warms up, so it never really gets to cool down. So, come October, you don't really notice that it's fall, since it's only ten degrees cooler on average than August. The leaves are a third gone, a third yellow, and a third green. And the palm trees are hanging in there as always. The leaves here never have a moment of spectacular beauty, though, and the sky usually isn't clear or blue enough to make them shine. When it's cloudy, it's dark and rainy, and hard to notice them then too. So they don't get noticed, and thus fall passes by without much notice. But I guess the glass just looks half empty, I suppose it depends where you're from and how you like your fall.
